Rct. Robert Stametz, Platoon 3094, Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, responds to commands from a drill instructor while crossing a small moat on a combat training course Oct. 29, 2013, as part of Basic Warrior Training on Parris Island, S.C. Held during the ninth week, Basic Warrior Training introduces recruits to basic field-related skills all Marines must know. The basic combat training recruits receive while on Parris Island will be broadened after boot camp at advanced training in Camp Lejeune, N.C. Stametz, 19, from Easton, Pa., is scheduled to graduate Nov. 22, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
